Key Features
- True RMS-to-DC conversion with 0.35% maximum linearity error for accurate measurement of non-sinusoidal waveforms
- Ultra-low quiescent current of 160 µA enabling long battery runtime in portable handheld measurement instruments
- Wide dual supply range of ±3.2 V to ±16.5 V for compatibility with both single-cell and bench-supply powered designs
- Accepts input signals from DC to above 100 kHz with a 200 mVRMS input range for versatile signal measurement
- Compact SO-8 package on tape-and-reel for automated PCB assembly in high-volume production meter designs
Applications
The AD737KR-REEL is well suited for handheld digital multimeters and clamp meters that need to measure true RMS voltage and current of non-sinusoidal waveforms such as PWM motor drives and switching power supply outputs, where a simple average-responding converter would introduce errors exceeding 40%. Its low 160 µA supply current makes it the preferred choice for battery-operated energy monitors and power quality analyzers that must run for hundreds of hours from AAA cells on a ±3.2 V supply. Audio VU meters and instrumentation amplifier output monitors in signal-chain test equipment also deploy this converter for accurate level detection across the 20 Hz to 100 kHz audio band.

Frequently Asked Questions
What bandwidth and linearity does AD737KR-REEL achieve for small-signal AC inputs up to 200 mVRMS?
The AD737KR-REEL delivers a -3 dB signal bandwidth exceeding 100 kHz at 200 mVRMS input, with a maximum linearity error of 0.35%. This allows accurate true-RMS measurement of power-line harmonics through the 20th harmonic of 50 Hz and audio-band signals from 20 Hz to 100 kHz without additional filtering or calibration in handheld instruments.
Which portable energy metering and power quality applications benefit most from deploying AD737KR-REEL?
Battery-powered clamp meters, handheld power quality analyzers, and residential energy monitors use AD737KR-REEL because its 160 µA quiescent current on ±3.2 V to ±16.5 V dual supplies provides runtime of hundreds of hours from standard AA or lithium cells. True-RMS conversion is essential in these instruments for measuring variable-frequency drive outputs, switching supply ripple, and non-sinusoidal industrial waveforms where average-responding converters introduce errors exceeding 40%.
How does AD737KR-REEL compare to AD536A when choosing a true-RMS converter for a battery-operated multimeter?
The AD737KR-REEL draws only 160 µA typical supply current versus the AD536A's 800 µA, making the AD737 5 times more power-efficient for ±3 V lithium-cell powered designs. Both ICs achieve true-RMS accuracy, but the AD737 targets the low-power 200 mVRMS input range in SO-8 packaging, while the AD536A supports wider input ranges and higher supply voltages up to ±18 V for benchtop instruments where battery life is not a constraint.
What averaging capacitor value should designers use with AD737KR-REEL for accurate 50 Hz AC measurements with low output ripple?
For 1% peak ripple on the DC output when measuring a 50 Hz fundamental, a 33 µF capacitor on the CAV pin is recommended per the AD737 application notes. Increasing the capacitor to 100 µF reduces ripple to below 0.1% but extends the settling time constant to approximately 2 seconds per full-scale change, requiring designers to balance measurement speed against output ripple in 50 Hz or 60 Hz energy meter applications.
